2 Chronicles 14
1 So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David, and Asa his son reigned in his stead, —in his days, the land rested ten years.
Abija sooro nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ, e lie ya nʼobodo Devid. Asa, nwa ya nwoke ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya. Udo dịkwa afọ iri nʼụbọchị ịbụ eze ya.
2 And Asa did that which was good and that which was right, in the eyes of Yahweh his God;
Asa mere ihe dị mma na nke ziri ezi nʼanya Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke ya.
3 and took away the foreign altars, and the high places, —and brake in pieces the pillars, and cut in twain the Sacred Stems;
Ọ wezugakwara ebe ịchụ aja nke chi ọzọ niile dị nʼugwu, tipịa ogidi nsọ niile, gbujasịakwa ogidi Ashera.
4 and bade Judah seek Yahweh, God of their fathers, -and execute the law, and the commandment;
O nyere Juda iwu ka ha chọọ Onyenwe anyị Chineke nke nna ha, ka ha debekwa iwu ya na ụkpụrụ ya niile.
5 and removed from all the cities of Judah, the high places, and the sun-images, —and the kingdom became quiet before him.
O wezugakwara ebe niile a na-efe arụsị nʼelu ugwu, bibiekwa ebe niile a na-esure ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ nʼobodo Juda. Alaeze ahụ nwekwara udo nʼokpuru ọchịchị ya.
6 And he built cities of defence, in Judah, —for the land had quiet, nor was there near him any war, in these years, because Yahweh had given him rest.
O wuru ọtụtụ obodo e ji mgbidi gbaa gburugburu nʼala Juda niile. O nweghị onye busoro ya agha, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị nyere ya udo.
7 Therefore said he to Judah, Let us build these cities, and let us surround them with walls and towers, doors and bars, while the land is yet before us, for we have sought Yahweh our God, we have sought him, and he hath given us rest on every side. So they built, and prospered.
Nʼihi nke a, ọ gwara ndị Juda sị ha, “Ugbu a ka anyị kwesiri iwu obodo ndị a. Ka anyị wuokwa mgbidi gburugburu ha, wuokwa ụlọ elu nche, tinyesịa ha niile ibo ọnụ ụzọ ama, na mkpọrọ e ji akpọchi ya, ala a bụ nke anyị, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị Chineke onye anyị ji obi anyị chọsie ike enyela anyị udo.” Ya mere, ha wuru ihe ndị a niile nwekwa ọganihu.
8 And it came to pass that, Asa, had a force bearing shield and spear, out of Judah, three hundred thousand, and, out of Benjamin, such as bare a buckler and trode a bow, two hundred and eighty thousand, —all these, were heroes of valour.
Ọnụọgụgụ ndị agha Asa ndị si Juda nʼoge ahụ bụ narị puku atọ. Ngwa agha ha ji bụ ọta ukwu na ùbe. Ndị agha ya ọzọ si Benjamin dị narị puku abụọ na iri puku mmadụ asatọ. Ndị a jikwa ọta na ụta. Ndị agha ndị a niile bụ ndị a zụziri azụzi, bụrụkwa ndị dị ike.
9 Then came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian, with a force of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots, —and he came as far as Mareshah.
Zera, bụ onye Kush duru puku kwụrụ puku, na narị ụgbọ agha atọ, bịaruo Maresha ibuso Juda agha.
10 And Asa went out to meet him, —and they set in array for battle, in the valley of Zaphonah, at Mareshah.
Asa pụrụ izute ya. Ha doro onwe ha nʼusoro ibu agha na Ndagwurugwu Zefata nke dị Maresha nso.
11 Then Asa cried out unto Yahweh his God, and said, O Yahweh, it is, nothing with thee, to help whether with many or with such as have no strength. Help us, O Yahweh our God, for, on thee, do we lean, and, in thy name, have we come against this multitude, —O Yahweh! our God, thou art, let not, weak man, have power against thee.
Mgbe ahụ, Asa kpọkuru Onyenwe anyị Chineke ya, si, “Onyenwe anyị ọ dịghị onye dịka gị nʼinyere onye na-adịghị ike aka nʼihu onye dị ike nke ukwuu. Nyere anyị aka, O Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị, nʼihi na anyị dabere na gị. Ọ bụkwa nʼaha gị ka anyị na-apụ ibuso igwe a agha. O Onyenwe anyị i bụ Chineke anyị. Ekwela ka ọ bụrụ na mmadụ efu meriri gị.”
12 So Yahweh smote the Ethiopians, before Asa, and before Judah, —and the Ethiopians fled.
Onyenwe anyị tigbukwara ndị Kush niile ahụ nʼihu Asa na Juda. Ndị Kush gbakwara ọsọ.
13 And Asa and the people that were with him pursued as far as to Gerar, and the Ethiopians fell, so that there was no way for them to recover, for they were routed before Yahweh, and before him host, —and they carried away exceeding much spoil.
Asa na ndị agha ya chụrụ ha ọsọ chụruo ha obodo Gera ebe ọtụtụ ndị Kush dara, ruo na o nwekwaghị onye fọdụrụ ndụ nʼime ha. E tigburu ha nʼihu Onyenwe anyị na ndị agha ya. Ndị Juda bukọọrọ ọtụtụ ihe nkwata nʼagha dị iche iche.
14 And they smote all the cities round shout Gerar, for the dread of Yahweh was upon them, —and they plundered all the cities, for, great plunder, was there in them.
Ha bibiri obodo niile gbara Gera gburugburu, nʼihi na egwu Onyenwe anyị dakwasịrị obodo ndị ahụ niile. Ndị Juda bukọọrọ ọtụtụ ihe nkwata nʼihi na ọtụtụ ihe dị nʼobodo ndị ahụ.
15 Moreover also, the tents of the cattle, they smote, —and carried off sheep in abundance, and camels, and returned to Jerusalem.
Ha busokwara ebe obibi ndị na-azụ anụ ụlọ agha, chikọrọ igwe atụrụ na ewu na ịnyịnya kamel. Emesịa ha laghachiri Jerusalem.
